Kill Bill: Volume 2
With this thrilling, must-see movie event, writer and director Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction) completes the action-packed quest for revenge begun by The Bride (Uma Thurman) in Kill Bill: Volume 1! Having already crossed two names from her Death List, The Bride is back with a vengeance and taking aim at Budd (Michael Madsen) and Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah), the only survivors from the squad of assassins who betrayed her four years earlier. It's all leading up to the ultimate confrontation with Bill (David Carradine), The Bride's former master and the man who ordered her execution! As the acclaimed follow-up to the instant classic Volume 1 - you know all about the unlimited action and humour, but until you've seen Kill Bill: Volume 2 you only know half the story!

Kill Bill: Volume 2 - TheWiz
Well, we didn't like this one at all. Why? First, we abore violence in all it's form, but will tolerate it and even get into it if it is a necessary and integral part of the story line. Which gets us to the next hot point. Story line. There's none! If you want to see an all violent movie with a story line, then go to 'A Clockwork Orange'. No, for us, this was just eye candy for those who enjoy violent flicks with an absense of plot.Much Better Than Vol. 1 - CharleyJames
As most people know by now, "Kill Bill Vol. 2" isn't a sequel but an extension of the story. In fact, the script was shot as one film but it ran hours and hours so the studio had Tarantino split it into a pair of films.
Tarantino never has been a linear storyteller and, in Vol. 2, he is at his best tying snippets of the story - past and present - together seamlessly. The plot line is taut, back stories get filled in, character development is expanded and, by the end of the film, both volumes make sense.
Try to see both films at the same time so you don't lose the train of thought. If you can get past the violence, "Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2" are a terrific movie experience.Volume 2. heavy on dialogue, light on action - allscot
Tarantino definetley pushes the spectator's limits, not with action and violence, but with melodramatic diologue. Yes, the final sequence with Uma and David is long and flat. Yes all of the diologue is similar, if not homogeneous. Tarantino definetly needs to develop some variety in his scriptwriting. Whenever someone speaks in this film, actually who am I kidding, whenever someone speaks in any Tarantino film you know who wrote it. Hasn't anyone else noticed that all of his characters talk exactly the same way. Anyway, Kill Bill Volume 2 is not a bad film, but it's not a really good one either, and it's definetly a weak if not disappointing follow up to Volume 1.
